I tested the idea with TMI, it didn't work quite as well as I hoped. Items coming out of a generator have a 50% chance of trying to back track only to be bounced back. So there is a 25% chance the empty can will just go right back into the generator that it came out of. However the fuel cans never back track and so should spend less time going around.

Not a perfect solution but you could add some gold pipes to the system to speed up the cans and thus increase there chance of making it back simply by giving them more chances to.
Also since gold pipes do not connect to other gold pipes, you could place a gold pipe under each wooden pipe then place 2 iron pipe under that to connect to the next gold. At the gold pipe the fuel can could go in or go the the next but when coming out it could only go forward. On second thought you would need to alternate putting the iron pipes below or towards the center to create a one way track. You might need to increase the spacing between rows to make room.

Except when mining upward, I much prefer using a drill and sticky dynamite to mine. I just drill 2 blocks and toss in dynamite (rinse, repeat) to create a 3x3 tunnel.

The MFE takes the place of a crystal charger. I have used a MFE to charge Energy crystals and mining lasers.

Is there a way to charge lapotron crystals without a MFSU so I can get the charged crystals i need to build a MFSU?
